The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a former rectory built in 1843 for Reverend G. Farley. It was extended in 1864 by W. Slater and again in 1873 by H. Weaver. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and features low-pitched slate roofs with eaves. The original house has a west side stack and an east end stack. It was designed in an L-shape, with a gable on the left and a two-window range on the right, featuring sash windows and a first-floor sill band. A large porch bay, added in 1873 by Weaver, now projects to the right of the original gable, which has a 16-pane sash window above and a 12-pane sash below.

To the right of the porch bay, there is one 16-pane sash and a blank window remaining from the original range, along with a round-arched doorway within the 1873 porch. The porch bay has a slightly jettied upper floor with decorative half-timbering and a small-paned triple casement window. The chimney on the ridge is disguised as a bellcote. The ground floor features a round-arched doorway with a fanlight, flanked by raised piers with brackets supporting a shallow flat hood and sidelights.

The west end of the building has a 20th-century lean-to conservatory. To the east, there is a two-storey and attic range added in 1864, which has a slightly higher roof, two hipped dormers, and 16-pane sash windows on each floor to the right. The left side has paired 8-pane sashes on the first floor and a canted timber bay window on the ground floor, added in 1865, which does not align with the window above. The Wiltshire Record Office holds plans from 1864 by W. Slater for minor alterations, including the bay window and single-storey projections to the north and west, as well as plans from 1872 by H. Weaver for the porch bay, both additions made for Reverend W.C. Plenderleath, who served as vicar from 1860 to 1891. Plenderleath's memoirs note more extensive alterations made in 1864 by Slater.
